#CincoSets Matches

Nothing beats the drama of a decisive fifth game. Scratch that, we mean Cinco Sets — the phrase used on social media to describe these college men’s volleyball matches that go to the tiebreaking final game.

The driving force behind the growth of the #CincoSets hashtag has been Off the Block associate editor Jonathan Bates. While he popularized the term, EIVA commissioner Ivan Marquez inspired the term for matches that go to a fifth game.

Off the Block, following the suggestion of former Lincoln-Memorial assistant coach Cody Jankowski, is now keeping a running total of how many matches went cinco. Check back through the season as this page will be updated after any match goes cinco.
